A Christmas Feast

This year’s run up to Christmas sees three sensational events from the Oxford Bach Soloists – two in Oxford and one in Bath. So get into the seasonal spirit with our spectacular line up of Christmas events…

WAKE UP!

Telemann’s vibrant Italianate Trumpet Concerto is combined with one of Bach’s great cantatas with its dramatic trumpet calls to wake up!

Telemann may have been the first to write a solo concerto for the trumpet and in this Trumpet Concerto in D he makes extraordinary demands on the soloist requiring exceptional control of breathing and embouchure. Composed around the same time in Weimar, Bach’s dramatic cantata includes the stirring trumpet calls to wake up!

This Christmas, enjoy an evening of festive baroque cheer presented by the Oxford Bach Soloists in the heart of the historic city of Bath. Experience the atmosphere conjured by the sounds of period instruments and voices, performed by the next generation of young vocalists and instrumentalists in this evening of Christmas Baroque.

Bach’s ebullient response to the Christmas story forms the major work in this concert with parts 4, 5 and 6. Alongside this is his cantata for the Visitation of Mary to Elizabeth, featuring the popular Jesu, joy of man’s desiring. The perfect way to celebrate your Christmas Eve!
